i run my car with headers and a y pipe and have never gotten a ticket (knock on wood) however most of those import guys ruin the reputation for all the other import guys acting stupid and all racing all the time. Ive grown up since ive had my ta and although i know its capable of running high 12s or very low 11's i still dont race it on the street. If someone comes up revving @ me i usually blow them off. However in every crowd theres an A$$ that has to ruin the rep for everyone else. The Fbody guys have them and so do the Viper guys, and Vette guys... Its in every club. Id fight it and if you know your right then you should win your case and explain your opinion to the judge and see how it goes from there.
Once i got a ticket for racing a mustang> My friend was in the mustang and she raced another mustang, however the guy mistook a TA for a mustang :Confused: in the long run i ended up paying for the ticket just because it was too much hassle to keep getting off work just for the Prosecutor to tell me i had to go back. Those prosecutors try to get you to catch yourself in a lie. & everytime he asked me a ? i had him, cause i wasnt even in that area i was waiting by a bank a block away. He knew i wasnt guilty but didnt want to give up on it. A$$hole.
When i see people racing, it upsets me cause you never know whose going to loose control. I often wish for them to wreck just so they can learn theyre lesson ( i know thats rude but Its my opinion)
